Shady Hollow is a 3-tract neighborhood of Austin, TX, population 18,188. The Eviction Risk Score is 3/10, in the Lower tier. At $2,889 a month, rents sit 67% over what the rest of Austin commands.
The voucher gap is 48.2%: households holding assistance that local rents will not absorb, which shows up as churn rather than arrears. Cost burden runs 41% against 29.1% citywide, putting Shady Hollow 11.4% over its own city.
What pushes the score up most is supply constraint at 8.9/10. On the softer side is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10.
21% are severely burdened, paying half their income or more in rent. That cohort has no absorption capacity for an unexpected bill, and it is where non-payment filings originate. Well under the midpoint is economic stress, at 1.6/10. That places it #125 of 151 neighborhoods in Austin.
At 10% renter-occupied, this is predominantly owner territory, and rental comps have to be drawn from further out. For a like-for-like read, Delwood and Angel Pass score within a fraction of it.
Rent takes 19% of average household income, comfortably inside the 30% line and unusually low for a rental sub-market. Poverty sits at 6%, low enough that arrears here usually reflect a specific shock rather than a structural income gap.
Its 3 tracts score within 0 points of one another, so the area figure travels well to individual addresses.
